Pup of the Week: Sarah Jane

Through
history humans have accidentally provided dogs with many gifts. They
think they are discovering inventions for their own benefit but
repeatedly these innovations profit their four legged angels. Cars,
refrigeration, air conditioning: All created for humans but appreciated
by dogs.

Arguably the invention that has most benefited dog? The Internet.

I
did not truly appreciate cyberspace until I crossed the Bridge. It
was here that I encountered dogs who had lived with no access to the
Superhighway. Their friends were their neighbors, their family members,
and if they were lucky dogs they met at the park or pup care.

I
have hundreds of friends. Years ago we were all gathered in the same
cyberspace playground named Doggyspace and it seemed like everyone had
thousands of close friends who they barked with everyday. We look back
on those days so fondly. Maybe they weren’t as special as we remember
but it sure seems like everyday was magic.

Like
everything that is a little too perfect things spun out of control. My
sister Pocket and I got into trouble sticking up for a friend, we were
shut out of our playground, started another group, and it seems like
nothing was the same.

We lost track of some dear friends. Our parents would still talk on the Facebook but we rarely heard their barks.

But
I do recognize them when I see them. Sadly the only time I see them is
when they are bounding up Enzo’s escalator after crossing the River of
Life to the Immortal side. And that is how I renewed my relationship
with Sarah Jane.

Sarah
Jane was one of my first online friends. A day rarely passed when we
didn’t bark at one another. But things change. Our parents become
busy. We grow older, and tired, and have less time to play with our
online friends. The Golden Age of dogs ruling cyberspace had ended. I
have missed her, but never forgot her, and now are together again
forever, albeit in the worst possible circumstances.

Sarah
Jane took ill. She was brought to the vet who diagnosed her with
lymphoma. Sarah Jane was sent home with prednisone and a prayer but
neither were effective. A few days later Sarah’s parents helped her to
the Immortal side of the Bridge where there is no pain, and no illness,
just an eternity of waiting until we are all together again.

Sarah
Jane is back with her thousands of friends. She has beautiful wings
and an even more beautiful soul. She also has many untold stories about
her life that keeps us all enraptured. When she is not spinning her
tales she is watching over her Mom.

She is back with her friends. Friends she made years ago on line thanks to the human invention.

Thank you humans for giving me Sarah Jane. We will keep her busy until the decades pass and we are all together again.

Friends we rarely meet in person but friend indeed. So many have touch our hearts Angel Pip with his Bucket List Tour could never be forgotten nor Angel Greta with her cancer ribbon give always every year. So many we remember.Thanks for being a friendSweet William The Scot
